When searching for the perfect place to call home, choosing a new development offers unique advantages that are hard to overlook. Let’s explore why building in a new development might be the perfect choice for you.
New Home
The first, and maybe the biggest benefit, is that along with a new development, comes a new home. A new build is far superior to an older home for many reasons. Firstly, while older homes often require renovations to get them up to scratch or to your liking, new homes are built to a higher standard and will have been designed specifically to your lifestyle. New homes with modern glazing and superior insulation are warmer, drier, healthier and more cost-effective to heat, which is good news for your back pocket and also means less maintenance (AKA chore-free weekends).
Professional Development
A new subdivision developed by a trusted company provides assurances regarding the quality and reliability of the development itself. A trusted developer has extensive knowledge and has carried out the process many times before. They have connections with other trusted professionals, such as engineers, surveyors, geotechnical engineers, council planners, and earthworks contractors who are also involved in the development works. If you’re looking to purchase land in a new development, we recommend Google searching the developer and looking around past projects of theirs.
At McBrimar, we build on every section we develop, therefore we have exceptionally high standards. We select high-quality pieces of land and use only the best local contractors to ensure our homes are built on solid ground (literally). Having a well-prepared site means the building progress runs smoothly and saves you money in the long run.
New Infrastructure
A key factor in a new development, which goes without saying, is the assurance that everything is brand new. When buying an existing home, not only will the home potentially require maintenance, but the infrastructure and services may also require attention. In a new development, you can rest assured knowing that absolutely everything is brand new and completed to a high standard.
At McBrimar, we use the best local contractors to construct and provide high-quality roads, footpaths, power, water, wastewater, sewer, drainage and fibre.
Community
There’s a lot of work that goes into a new development, but it’s not until the homeowners start to move in that it really comes to life. A key benefit of living in a new subdivision is undoubtedly the community around you. Your neighbours have been through the same process as you to get into their new home, so you already have something in common. When it comes to locking up your home and leaving on holiday, it’s important to have peace of mind by knowing and trusting your neighbours.
Over our years of developing communities, we’ve loved seeing the excitement of homeowners meeting their new neighbours and fostering relationships. Our clients often comment on how safe and welcoming their new neighbourhood is.
Land Covenants
New subdivisions have section covenants set by the developer, which the owners must follow. This means you have the benefit of knowing what to expect when it comes to the sections and homes around you. You can rest assured that the homes and sections around you will be up to the subdivision standard, so no one will be letting down the neighbourhood with an untidy section.
At McBrimar, our subdivision covenants are pretty simple, ensuring yards are kept tidy with some form of planting visible from the street. We state that large trucks and campervans must be fenced off so they are not taking over the street. We also ensure that the purchaser of each section must build within a timely fashion, so you’re not living in a constant construction zone.
Home Covenants
Subdivision covenants can also apply to the homes themselves. If you’re design-conscious, we recommend you check these out. Some developers may state a minimum size of the home or acceptable claddings to maintain a certain standard of homes.
Because we construct every home in a McBrimar development, we take pride in the overall look of the subdivision, as well as each individual home. We are careful to maintain a variety of cladding and colour choices in each development, ensuring that your home is unique to you.
Return on Investment
New homes are in higher demand than older homes due to the new building code that ensures superior quality. And new homes in a new development are even more sought after. Section prices may be lower in the early stages of the development, therefore early purchasers may get the best financial gain. As the community grows, your home will continue to increase in value. In an older neighbourhood, it’s harder to significantly increase the value of your home without renovating. This makes a new build in a new development a great investment property!
Builder/Developer
In some cases, the development may be carried out by a building company. This provides many benefits to the purchaser because the builder already has extensive knowledge of the section and wider development.
Because we take pride in the overall look of our developments, we have a vested interest in the finish of your home, which is why we’ll take care of absolutely everything. This is a huge benefit to you because we know that managing it yourself or hiring contractors can be stressful, time-consuming and expensive. As well as providing the section and building your house, we’ll also pour your driveway and footpaths, build your deck, sow your lawn, build your raised gardens, install your clothesline and letterbox, and take care of anything else you need. This way, we both benefit from you having a beautiful move-in-ready home.
At McBrimar, as well as being trusted Master Builders, we’re also your local development experts. This means we’re passionate not only about building homes, but communities too. With a wide range of small and large-scale developments under our belt, we’ve helped grow many communities over the years. Within our developments, we have sections available for Design & Build packages, where we work with you to design your dream home, as well as having pre-designed Home & Land Packages available. We often have Home & Land Packages under construction or even completed, meaning you could get into a new home quicker than you may have thought. We’ll even provide you with a fixed-price contract.
